Wrinkles can develop for a number of reasons. The most common reason is simply old age. As people age, their skin loses some of its elasticity. Facial expressions can also lead to the development of lines and folds on the face (especially around the eyes, forehead and mouth).
The forehead is the first area of a person's face to begin to wrinkle. The forehead is very different from other areas of our body and this causes it to wrinkle first. There is no fat underneath the forehead while the rest of the face has fat deposits that will help deter wrinkles.
Forehead wrinkles can be frustrating, but they’re nothing to furrow your brow over. As annoying and stubborn as they may be, lines on the forehead in particular are also very common, because our eyebrows are responsible for so many of our expressions. When it comes to getting rid of wrinkles, it all comes down to collagen; one way or another, your skin needs more of it to fill the lines. (That, or the muscles that created the line in the first place get frozen up ). Here's what you can do.
Lifestyle
1) Sleep Position
If you tend to lie on your stomach with your face pressed into your pillow, then you’ll be more at risk of developing wrinkles on your forehead. Start sleeping on your back to reduce wrinkles but if you really can't, then invest in a good quality silk pillowcase. Other than reducing your wrinkles, it leave you less puffy in the morning and for anyone with rosacea, silk will be less abrasive on your face than your run-of-the-mill cotton covers, which can help reduce redness.

2) Smoking
Other than knowing that smoking isn’t good for your health, it’s also a huge factor in the development of wrinkles. When you smoke, the blood vessels within the skin constrict, reducing blood flow. This causes the skin to stop secreting collagen and elastin fibers, causing premature aging and the appearance of fine lines.

3) Wear Sunscreen
Photoaging is one of the main causes of premature wrinkles. When the skin comes into contact with UV rays, it breaks down the collagen and elastin fibers within the skin, leading to sagging and wrinkles.
Sun exposure can speed up the skin drying out. The sun can also increase the rate at which our bodies lose collagen. With this combination, people are seeing wrinkles much earlier and they are more pronounced. The more tanning that is done the more likely a person will develop wrinkles. An alternative to getting wrinkles from tanning is to use self-tanner. Staying out of the sun is the key to keeping the skin moisturized and smooth.

4) Keep Your Skin Hydrated
Chronic dehydration (consistently consuming less water than your body needs to function optimally) has been linked to wrinkles and other skin issues. When your body consistently receives too little water to replace what it uses throughout the day, it must give priority to your vital organs. This means your skin won’t receive the hydration it needs to maintain its elasticity and health.
In addition to drinking sufficient water, you can keep your skin hydrated by applying a moisturizing formula that contains Hyaluronic Acid ( HA ). This incredible ingredient can hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water and is highly valued in the beauty industry for its hydrating capabilities. Gently smooth a few drops of the HA serum onto your face each day, concentrating on deep forehead wrinkles and areas with fine lines.

5) Weekly Exfoliation
Exfoliating once a week (at a minimum) is an effective way to remove the dry and aged outer layers of your skin to reveal the more youthful, elastic skin hiding underneath. You can exfoliate using either physical, chemical, fruit enzymes exfoliation formulas or manual exfoliators.
Physical exfoliants refer to the use of small grains. Avoid large exfoliants like fruit pits and nut shells since these have a tendency to cause micro-tears in the skin.
Chemical exfoliants remove dead skin cells with the use of chemicals to aid in cell turnover, such as Alpha Hydroxy Acids ( AHAs ), Beta Hydroxy Acids ( BHAs ) and fruit enzymes.
AHAs are derived from natural substances and are ideal for exfoliating dry skin, since they remove the “glue” that holds dead skin cells together. They are great for those with sun damage, pigmentation and uneven texture. However AHAs can’t penetrate very deep into pores because they're water soluble.
Beta Hydroxy Acids ( BHAs ) are oil-soluble molecules and are able to reach deeper into the skin and pores. They have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties and thus are great for those with blackheads, large pores, acne-prone and oily skin.
Fruit enzymes like papain (papaya!) and bromelain (pineapple!) are perfect exfoliants for those with sensitive skin as they are not nearly as harsh as BHAs or AHAs. Fruit enzymes break down the keratin in skin and target only the outermost layer of the epidermis. The only thing that’s finicky about enzyme exfoliators is that they can become unstable depending on their environment.
Manual exfoliators like Konjac Sponge and Clarisonic work as well too. However, the soft and gentle Konjac Sponge would require it to be clean from bacteria and replaced often while there may be a tendency to over-do the harsh Clarisonic facial brush.

6) Consume Antioxidants
Antioxidants are your skin’s best friend and should be taken both orally and topically. Antioxidants protect the skin by impeding damage from free radicals. You can apply Coenzyme Q10 serum or consume CoQ10 supplement.

7) Facial Exercise
Facial exercises work the hypodermis (the lower layer of the skin) as well as the dermis (the middle layer). This increases blood circulation and oxygen flow to all of the tissues in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Doing this multiple times a day will result in more supple, tighter looking skin.
Place your fingertips in the center of your forehead and close your eyes. Apply a slight pressure and slide your fingers out towards your temples, before starting again. Repeat this 6 times a day to reduce the appearance of forehead wrinkles.

9) Natural Alternative : Coconut Oil and Castor Oil
Coconut oil moisturizes the skin well and assists in keeping it healthy. It is rich in antioxidants which help in the fading of the fine lines from the forehead. Coconut oil has free radical scavenging activity. The free radicals keep getting accumulated in the skin, making it dull and lifeless. Coconut oil acts as an excellent remedy to get rid of wrinkles.
Massage a few drops of coconut oil on your forehead with your fingertips. You can massage the entire face with the oil. Allow the oil to get absorbed deep in the skin layers by leaving for about 10-15 minutes. Do this every night at bedtime and rinse well in the morning.
Castor oil is an excellent remedy for keeping the skin healthy and glowing. It is a rich source of Ricinoleic acid which aids in skin-conditioning. Castor oil contains antioxidants which will help in reducing the line lines and the deep wrinkles. The light texture of castor oil makes it one of the most preferred oils amongst all.
Add a few drops of castor oil on the forehead in a gentle tapping motion, while you lay on the bed. Leave it on overnight for practical benefits. As castor oil has a very light texture, many people prefer to use it during the day as well.

Rosehip Oil is a plant-based alternative that offers vitamin A (the purest form of retinol) as well as other antioxidants. Retinol stimulates collagen to help the skin resist wrinkling, however it can make your skin sensitive, so it’s important to moisturize and wear sunscreen when using retinol products—and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid it altogether, as it can potentially lead to birth defects.
